Front
Centering Measurements
Perfect centering: front left/right is approximately 51/49 and top/bottom approximately 54/46, with the bottom border slightly wider than the top. The measured worst-axis deviation remains within the 55/45 threshold.
Back
Centering Measurements
Good centering: the back shows approximately 53/47 left/right and 53/47 top/bottom, with the right and bottom borders modestly wider. The back remains within the range receiving no back-centering penalty.

Corner Close-ups (Front)
Corners
10/10The top-left corner meets the yellow border and blue artwork frame; its apex remains pointed with no confirmed white fiber or rounding visible.
At the upper-right yellow border, the corner retains a defined point and shows no confirmed lift, compression, or coating loss.
The lower-left corner against the yellow frame appears angular and intact, with no visible whitening or softened geometry.
The bottom-right yellow corner is well defined and flat in the photo, without a confirmed fiber exposure or bend.
Analysis: All four front corners were examined at the available image resolution for fiber exposure, rounding, compression, and lift. The yellow border reaches each defined apex without a confirmed handling defect.
Edges
8/10The top yellow edge from the left corner through the HP area appears straight and intact, with no confirmed chip or roughness.
Along the lower yellow edge beneath the attack text, the cut line remains continuous without a confirmed white fleck or coating break.
The left yellow perimeter beside the blue artwork shows a smooth, unbroken edge with no distinct cardstock exposure.
The right-side yellow border adjacent to the blue background remains visually clean and straight, without confirmed chipping or fuzzing.
Analysis: The front edge scan shows continuous yellow coating and clean factory-cut lines on all four sides. No confirmed front-edge whitening, chipping, or roughness affects the score. Magnified inspection adjusted this face to 8/10 — see the limiting factors and condition summary above.
Surface
10/10No analysis available
Analysis: The holofoil pattern remains continuous through the artwork, including the dark red and purple background and the Seadra figure. Reflection bands were checked against the printed design and do not provide confirmed evidence of surface damage.
Back Side
Corner Close-ups (Back)
Corners
9/10The physical top-left back corner, corresponding to the right side of the back photograph, remains rounded only by the factory corner cut with no confirmed material loss.
The upper-right back corner against the blue border shows a clean silhouette with no distinct white fiber or bend confirmed.
The lower-left physical back corner appears intact beside the blue swirl field, with the point maintained and no clear whitening detected.
The lower-right back corner has a defined factory-cut profile; bright pixels near the edge are consistent with lighting and do not show confirmed fiber texture.
Analysis: The four back corners retain their original geometry with no confirmed rounding, lift, or material loss. Bright edge pixels were assessed against the blue border and treated as photographic lighting rather than physical whitening.
Edges
7/10The top blue edge beneath the dark background contains a short run of small bright specks near the upper perimeter, consistent with minor edge whitening against the blue border.
The bottom blue edge shows mostly continuous color, with a few tiny bright points near the lower perimeter detectable on close inspection.
The physical left back edge, appearing on the right side of the back photograph, is largely smooth with a small isolated bright speck near the upper section.
The physical right back edge, appearing on the left side of the back photograph, retains a clean blue line with no clearly confirmed coating loss.

View magnified evidence photoAnalysis: Minor whitening is visible at several points around the blue back perimeter, primarily along the top, bottom, and physical left edges. The scattered close-inspection flecks place the back edge condition at 8. Magnified zoom inspection subsequently found: faint whitening visible only under magnification (top edge); faint whitening visible only under magnification (bottom edge); moderate whitening (bottom edge) +7 more — this score reflects those findings.
